@MikeBloomberg: Bernie voted to give gun manufacturers IMMUNITY -- Care to explain, Bernie?




Mike Bloomberg
@MikeBloomberg

In 2005, I signed a local law allowing New Yorkers to sue gun manufacturers for criminal negligence.

That same year, Bernie voted to give gun manufacturers IMMUNITY — overriding my efforts to make NYers safer.

Care to explain, Bernie?

A product that might be used to inflict great harm is very different than a product that is impossible to use safely.

Guns are tools, durable goods. They are not ingested into your body in solid, liquid or gaseous form.

Sorry, try again.

by the number of Elmer Fudd's in Vermont where hunting is a big deal, and the defense manufacturers there. Jobs, jobs. Not sure he'd make the same votes today.

That's not an attack. These are legitimate questions and differences, and voters deserve to hear an honest explanation and discussion. It really doesn't matter WHO is doing the asking, as long as SOMEONE does.
